I was just playing tag with a little lamb in the garden. It’s still small enough to squeeze through a gap in the fence. I guess I should talk to my neighbor so he’ll keep an eye on it when his little flock is out to graze again.
LLMs for Cognitive Augmentation Humans have always used tools to augment their cognitive abilities. With LLMs, we are witnessing the emergence of the most profound cognitive augmentation to date — one that actively participates in the thought process itself. While traditional tools operate with fixed maps of information, such as rigid categories and hierarchies, LLMs function more like dynamic networks in which meaning and relationships emerge through context and interaction. When we engage with an LLM, we are forced to externalize our internal thought processes, making them more visible to us and allowing us to refine them more effectively. The human mind is capable of thinking in two different ways, known as System-1 thinking and System-2 thinking. System-1 basically encompasses the things we can do on autopilot without giving them much thought. System-2 thinking means: - It requires our conscious attention - It is slow and deliberate. - Requires cognitive effort System-2 is the thinking that enables us to develop new skills. So when we try to automate processes using LLMs, we should be able to offload the tasks we already know and can handle automatically using our System-1 thinking. Three principles for using generative AI, from Reid Hoffman’s “Impromptu: Amplifying Our Humanity Through AI”: 1. Treat LLMs like a student research assistant. 2. You are the director; the AI is the actor. 3. Experiment with it. Find out what you can do. According to these principles, LLMs represent a starting point, not the answer. #AI #LLM

Winter is making a comeback. That means we'll have another chance to shovel snow tomorrow.

Holos is a very interesting ActivityPub project. It runs a complete ActivityPub server directly on your smartphone. Posts, followers, and cryptographic keys are stored on the device. This architecture reminds me of Nostr. A personal relay is also used for offline phases. #Holos #ActivityPub #Nostr

The neighbor's sheep find every single gap in the fence to get onto our side. #Neighbors #Sheep

What I find particularly interesting about the new Surf app is the combination of posts from Bluesky, Threads, and the Fediverse in one feed. Everything is grouped together by the topic of the subscribed feed. Unfortunately, the app only allows you to log in to Bluesky and Mastodon instances. Instances from other Fediverse projects are rejected. #Fediverse #Flipboard #Surf

After many years, I am rereading the book "The Soul of a New Machine" by John Kidder. It is a very exciting description of the development of a new computer.

Once the purchase of TikTok in the USA has been successfully completed, Fediverse and Nostr will become tendril networks (see "The Network Revolution" by Jacques Vallee) that will colonize the niches between the commercial platforms. #SocialNetworking #Nostr

Last night the pack of wild boars plowed up our garden again. Luckily we hadn't put in too much work after the last time, it would have been for nothing now. I'm starting to get really annoyed. #Gardening

I should check my nostr feed more often. I've definitely been missing out on that the last few days. #Nostr

Using the Obsidian Vault as a source for NotebookLM clearly takes Niklas Luhmann's concept of the note box as a conversation partner to a new level. #pkm #AI #NotebookLM

In #MobLand, Harry Da Souza is clearly the most interesting character.

It's interesting to see the differences I now make in the use of Nostr and the Fediverse. In the Fediverse, I follow accounts that mainly post on topics that interest me. Since the distribution of hashtags is much better in Nostr, I prefer to follow these here. #Nostr #Fediverse
